Prices vary greatly where I am in Norwich however with the arrival of a couple of budget gyms the higher end places are now cutting their prices.
Nuffield - around £53 per month (previously around £60)
Virgin Active - around £49 per month (previously around £65)
Smaller gyms are around £40 per month
Lottery funded pool/gym £33 per month
Budget gyms are around £15 per month or £5 per guest pass
Not sure exactly which gyms are included, but you can get discounts if you're an Aviva policyholder - http://www.getactive.aviva.co.uk/gym_discounts0 -
Currently paying £2 per visit for use of new council owned gym, pool or classes. Got down to docs and asked for a referral as I currently have no income. Have got this for 6 months and and I am making two visits per week at the moment.0

£25 a month (NHS discount) £30 otherwise, local council subsidised, Fenton Manor In Stoke. I get pools, gym, sauna, steam etc and all exercise classes too. Open 7am-10pm which is ok for me at the moment0

I've been a member of quite a few gyms over the years and have seen a massive difference in different towns.
Virgin Active in most places I've seen at around £70 per month (criminal imo so wasn't going there)
Nuffield Health were about £45 a month
LA Fitness £37 a month
Freedom Leisure Sports centre £38 a month with corporate discount
On fitness for health scheme (doc referal) I was paying about £4 a session. (This was up in Yorkshire though unlike all the other places in SUssex/Surrey)
Now I do bootcamp twice a week for £5 a session.0 -
Im soooooo lucky! I work as a cleaner at 2 gyms in my area and they throw in free gym membership for working there :-))) So im able to swim, go in the gym, use the steam room and sauna and Jacuzzi and aromatherapy room, and all the classes :-))) im very fortunate and thankful :-)))0

I have off-peak membership for Results @ £15.99 a month which gives you access to about 5 gyms bewteen 6.30am and 4pm Monday-Friday and 12pm-close at the weekend.
I only use the gym that is a two minute walk from my house though. :laugh:0 -
£47 a month for me.0

since a new gym opened in my town the gyms have become more competitive. I was paying £35/month, now £25/month at DW (no pool but I wouldn't use it anyway), just working out my notice there to go to a lifting gym - also £25/month but only weights etc, which is all I use and much quieter!0
-
Currently pay 25 per month for a lifting gym in preston, it has cardio machines and a mma area as well, been looking at changing due to work geography etc and for my wife to also start going and been quoted 103 for the two of us and have to sign up for at least 6 months, ok so the place has everything you could want and all classes included but jeez it's the North of England not London,0

Feeling rather ripped off compared to all those great prices. Paying £55 a month in central London via a salary sacrifice scheme. When I paid by direct debit, it was a whopping £65.0

Just joined Virgin for the winter months, £50 a month. I swim 3 days a week before work and can use both pools at home and near work.
The council run pool still comes in at £35 a month 3 days a week, and free swim times are restricted due to all the other classes they have to run its even extra for weights/classes etc.0 -
£58 for two people per month at a local leisure centre, that's with a discount because my mum works for the NHS.
Also includes all the classes and pools, no lengthy contract either plus they are 3 leisure centers to choose from but I just go to the closest.0 -
Rush fitness, open 24 hours has sauna, gym, classes etc. I pay £19.99 per month, no contract. Also have membership at my work gym £10 annually plus between £1 and £2 for a class and some sessions are free, I joined the work gym so that I can fit in a class during my lunch break.0
-
£37/month for a big chain gym with pool, sauna, far too many cardio machines, group classes, machines, free weights. I feel it's a bit too much money for what I actually make use of at this particular gym, but it's walking distance from my flat, so I'm staying for now.0

Currently member of Kiss Gym(5 min walk from home) 24/7 365 and paying £15.99(got the £9.99 deal for the first year but thereafter went up) and honestly the best gym&equipment ever. Back in time have been member of LA Fitness in Notting Hill(around £70p/m) Cannons - around £65, 37o's - £91 and The Gym Box Westfield - £87 - whooping difference of £800 pound!!0

I pay £16/month for the gym at work.
It has a range of cardio machines, a few weights machines, a smith machine and some dumbells.
It also has a studio for classes which are generally run at lunchtime and 5ish and are mostly free.
For a work gym it's pretty well equipped (no barbell though) and is very convenient.0 -

If it's work gym, isn't it suppose to be free? :O
I pay £19 for my membership.0 -
I've just seen this thread, and coincidentally, am trying to decide which gym to join and whether it would be worth my money.
There is my local leisure centre, which has a huge gym with all the latest equipment, free weights and machines plus vibration plates and other bits. This has a pool, sauna, steam room, numerous fitness studios and a range of classes that run almost all day everyday. This is the gym I used to go to and pay each session and was quite happy doing it this way. There was one where I used to live too so I could use their facilities too which was great. Then the last time I went to pay to go in they said as I hadn't been in a few months I would need another induction (which was £15) and that no trainers were free to give me that so I couldn't use the gym. I was not impressed as I had been so many times before for years and they made me feel like a complete imbecile.
Anyway, this place is £45 a month membership for everything included.
My other choice is a Club Moativation gym at the Holiday Inn. I've never used this gym but some friends are members and seem happy with it. I believe it is a lot smaller but still has both cardio and weights (i'm not sure about pool etc) There are two classes a day, one in the morning and one in the evening, and are very limited - aerobics, body toning or abs.
This place is £30 a month on a 12 month contract, slightly more for a rolling contract, or you can pay three months up front.
My other half has very sweetly offered to pay half my membership as he is joining too and knows how much I want to get fit, but I don't want him to waste his money (or me waste mine) paying for a membership to somewhere that is cheaper but much more limited. We do have a cross trainer and weights at home which is why the lack of classes at the cheaper option is putting me off - I want to do something different that I will stick to!
ETA - sorry didn't realise how rambly this reply got!0 -

bodyweight training at home?
Cheap, and you can do it any time :P 0 -

That's what I do at the moment, but would love the variety and expertise of a gym - i'm just not sure I can justify the cost, as much as I would love to!

I don't go to the gym, just the treadmill at home, but my husband does. He pays £15.99 at The Gym Group and can use any of the gyms in the chain (they have 38, with about 20 more opening soon). As he works away and moves job/location every 3-6 months that suits him fine. He used the one in our home town as well as Edinburgh and 2 London ones so far and they all have plenty of equipment, all fairly new, clean and functional showers and friendly staff.0

Yikes. I pay £75 a month for Virgin Active - it's a lot of money but there are not many gyms in central London with a pool and means I can go to any of them over the country, which helps as I travel a bit with work...
So far this month I've been over 15 times though - so it's less than £5 a visit and the classes are free when I start giving them a go..0 -
Nothing!!!
I love the company I work for, a fully staffed free gym is one of the perks. I have free PT and physio too.0 -
I have 2 gyms.
One is free - its Nuffield and its in my building at work!
The second is a Fitness First near where I live and thats £34pm. I joined because the free weights section at my work gym is practically non-existant.
I use the free gym mostly for lunch time classes and then go to the one near home in the evenings for more intensive workouts.
I use FF 6 times a week so I definitely get my monies worth!0 -
I pay £200 a year for a local gym. It has two floors of equipment and all classes are free.
I can in as often as I like and its open between 6.30 am and 9 pm.0 -
Used to used Virgin Active in Ealing Broadway but when I moved back to Nottingham I found the "atmosphere" to be completely different.
I now go to Nuffield Health for £51 a month (NHS staff discount) who provide me with access to a GP and full medical tests in their "body MOT" every 3 months including blood tests etc.0 -
I use a local gym that is a ladies only gym so i feel comfortable. Doesnt have a pool but has a sauna and great equipment choice. I only pay £13 p/m and get a free massage every month! I also receive 15% discount on the hair salon and 10% of all beauty treatments next door!
I used to go to a Bannatynes gym and paid £36 p/m but i had to travel through the town, it wasnt a five minute drive away like the gym I'm at now 0 -
£46 a month at Nuffield in Norwich0
